Best Bets
Race 1: #4 JOB DONE – 1×4
Impressive debut and should only improve off that run.
Love the booking of big bad Benny Melham.
Draws out wide which i like and should grab the back of the fave.
Race 9: #1 RUNNING BY – 1×4
She comes into this race 3rd up, where she’s actually never lost.
She ran well last start at Sandown in a much stronger race where they did go above benchmark but she was consistent through the line.
The 21-day break looks ideal to peak off Saturday.
Johnny Allen takes the ride, who actually rode her to her latest victory at this track and will get a positive map.
